I didn't mean that we have the technology to make something human-like today. I meant that we have the technology to perform the experiment I described today.

I didn't mean that we have the technology to make something human-like today. I meant that we have the technology to perform the experiment I described today. I don't know exactly how these LLMs are architected, but I imagine there's some set of input neurons somewhere, right? Why couldn't we hook some of those up to some sensors and make interpreting what they mean part of its training? If that's not feasible and the architecture is truly fundamentally incapable of dealing with anything other than text, we could at least translate sensor readings into text. I'm not imagining a bipedal robot walking around and about here. I'm talking about doing something to give it some form of way to directly affect and get affected by the world.
